I still find amazing that you can not customize a 16GB RAM option on this thing ...
Even on the 15" rMBP i don't find any store selling a 16GB option (besides apple online store, of course).
I wonder how de EU will react on the fact you cannot remove the battery yourself, according to EU directives this should be the case on all electronics.
That's because Apple has soldered the RAM on to make it impossible to upgrade yourself, they wan't you to throw away your Macbook and buy a new one when you need better performance.
Does iFixit ever take apart computers other than Macs? It seems like their obsessed with Apple.

So now there's no more disc drives... Etc and they're lookin thin'n'fit...
Why exactly would one buy a MacBook Air over a MacBook Pro 13 inch???
Is there a difference anymore? What is the point of the MacBook airs now?
No reason not to have a 16GB RAM option than to push buyers up to the more expensive 15" rMBP![]()
Applecare is the answer to all your problems. Might not like it but better option to save your expensive rMBP.
The Air has a much higher resolution screen (1440x900 VS 1280x800), it's also thinner, lighter and considerably cheaper.
I'm not really sure what the point of the 13" MacBook Pro is, unless you don't want the benefit of SSD speeds for some reason, or you can't use external storage.

This is the cost of fitting so much in such a small machine. The downside to technological evolution. To the average consumer it won't make a difference though.
You realise how stupid that is what you are saying?
RAM updates are now done exactly the same way as processor upgrades were always done: Via eBay.
Wonder why you can almost fit a 2.5" SSD in the stock location. Last minute design change?
Did you even read what i wrote? It is impossible to upgrade the RAM yourself, or even for a third party company that works with Macs, since the RAM is soldered on directly to the mainboard. If you want more RAM you have to buy a new rMBP. The processor is of course not upgradeable either.

That's right! Because selling it to offset the cost to upgrade would be stupid.... they wan't you to throw away your Macbook and buy a new one when you need better performance.
